Lisbon City Hall

The Lisbon City Hall (Portuguese: Paços do Concelho de Lisboa, lit.

The building is located in the City Square (Praça do Município), Santa Maria Maior, Lisbon.

Built in the neoclassical style, its monumental façade features a large pediment over a central balcony with sculptures by Calmels, and four oculi.

The original city hall was built following plans by Eugénio dos Santos, during the reconstruction of the Baixa neighbourhood that followed the 1755 earthquake.

A new City Hall was built in the same location, with plans drawn by architect Domingos Parente da Silva, between 1865 and 1880.
